Solar panels to be fitted to Bradford City stadium
The energy generated by the panels will help power the stadium
- Published
Plans to install solar panels on the roof of Bradford City鈥檚 Valley Parade stadium have been given the green light.
Renewable energy company SNRG Ltd applied for permission to fit the panels on two sections of the stadium鈥檚 roof earlier this year.
The application said the panels would have a 200kWp (kilowatt peak) capacity, and the energy generated would help power the stadium.
Any excess power would be released to the national grid.
Bradford Council has approved the scheme, the said.
In their conclusions, planning officers said: 鈥淭he panels will not directly face any neighbouring residential properties which are located at a lower level.
鈥淭he impact on the external appearance of the building and the amenity of the area is considered limited, and any significant issues with glare are considered unlikely.鈥
